Our first Break Our Games event of the fall semester was a huge success! We were lucky enough to play some student games in development, as well as test some submitted to CMich Press for publication. Thank you everyone -- and we'll see you October 10th for more!

Thanks to @bexagons.bsky.social for setting up a really interesting call about how to make it easier for libraries to get indie TTRPGs into their online catalog. Learned more about CIP blocks, MARC records, and OCLC.

Expect a Skeleton Code Machine article about this at some point!

Yeah, I had to add it, haha!

We have Anamnesis, too! And we happen to have a tarot deck collection shelved near our games, as well, so that works nicely for folks who don't own a deck.
